Description

This summer (and spring and autumn) house is a real retreat on the second biggest yet undiscovered Greek island of Evia. It is 150 km from Athens (by car and ferry boat) or 210 km (by car, crossing the Chalkis bridge).

It is situated on the slope of a small hill, it is surrounded by pine trees and has a wonderful view. It is 80 meters away from the sea. There are no discos, restaurants or coffee shops around, the beach is sandy and very quiet. It is 13 km away from Edipsos, a famous spa city known from antiquity. During your stay, you can visit the Thermae Sylla Spa and try different types of treatment. The village Gialtra, where you can find most of the basic shops plus a pharmacy, is on the top of the hill, within walking distance (10 to 15 minutes).

The house itself is 70 sqm, it is furnished with taste but has no particular amenities. It is the ideal place for people who want to live for some time in simplicity and enjoy nature, hiking (the place is surrounded by forests), swimming (the sea is very safe, as it is a small gulf) or surfing.
The house is composed of a living room with two balconies and an open kitchen and two bedrooms(one with a double and one with twin beds). There is one bathroom with shower box. There are screens at all the windows and ventilators in the bedrooms.
Since we have decided to opted for an alternative way of life during our vacation, there is no television, computer, internet connection, telephone or any other electronic devices. However, if somebody feels the need to get again into contact with civilisation, there is the nearby city of Edipsos. A car is necessary!

Communication languages: English, French, Italian, Greek.

The house can be rented in combination with our property "39 steps from the sea", which is 50 meters away.

House rules

Reviews for this host's other properties

Perfect place and location to spend 3-5 days in Athens. Very close to all historical sites and city center. Plenty of nice places nearby to eat and drink. Appartment was well equipped, clean and maintained.
Ralou was great host! We would definitely choose this place again!

Our stay in Athens has been very nice: Ralou's appartment is located in Thissio neighborhood, so every morning you see the Acropolis right in front of your eyes as you go for a coffee.
The appartment is nice and in a quiet street. Ralou is an extremelly helpfull hostess: she leaves a list of recommendations, tips from Athens and places to visit, and helping us with the taxis coming and leaving Athens. There was a minor issue with the shower and she inmediatelly took care of solving it for future guests.

We passed a nice weekend in Athens. Ralu 's place is perfect to see the historical centre, to walk, to relax and if someone want to move all around by bicycle. The appartement is comfortable, utilitarian and concerned, secure and well decorated with all the neccesary equipment. With Ralou we had an flawless intreaction, by email and phone, and always in a very polite and friendly. You have not afraid for anything. Further information, maps and quidebooks were at the apartment also.The only i will propose Ralu to fix is a better way to saves the beddings for sofabed during the day -like a small box. Thank you Ralou,

Ralou welcomes us with great hospitality. The location of the appartement was perfect. The appartement was lovely furnished and well equiped. We felt immediately "at home". Thank you very much for the little "catering" (cookies). They helped us over the day. "The six Dogs" is a green oasis in the middle of a pulsating city. Nice place to have a rest.

Ralou´s appartment is amazing, i strongly recommend it to any visitor in Athens, is very well furnished, cool decoration and located in the heart of Athens if you want to try the real "greek taste" you can go walking to the Acropolis, Monastiraki, Plaka and Gazi. Ralou welcome us with a big smile and lots of cookies! A perfect place for a perfect city!

My wife and I were looking to stay in Athens near the acropolis area, but not at the high prices being offered. Then we came across the property listed.

The entire experience was above and beyond our expectations! As a senior member for a hotel, I must say that Ralou is a true professional and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her property(s).

Ralou was caring that our entire stay not only in her property, but our vacation in Athens was memorable.....and it truely was.

The apartment was prefect. Clean, neat and organized. Lots of information packages for any tourist to use with a "locals" recommended package there as well. The area was quite and literally just around the corner from all the sites, restaurants and attractions.

Thank you for the great memories. We look forward to the opportunity to stay with you again.

The best experience with Wimdu.
Ralou was a guest careful that made us feel instantly welcome.
Comfortable apartment fully equipped and located a short walk from the Acropolis.
I highly recommend Ralou and his apartment.
Thanks to all my family.
